Infringing on the 2nd amendment in unpatriotic.So I will call those that banned the Tommy-gun unpatriotic.Amazing how when it was perfectly legal for citizens to own Tommy-guns there were no where near as many mass shootings as there are now.

Propagandizing citizens, whether by corporate or political interests, is wrong. Not just wrong, but evil.

So says the person who sides with anti-2nd amendment trash who falsely label semi-automatic firearms as military grade, weapons of war, or assault weapons in order to try to ban them. You side with people who falsely label 20 to 30 round capacity magazines as high capacity in order to try to ban them

The NRA has propagandized citizens through ads, articles and lobbyist efforts (where the money pays for 'gun rights' politic campaign ads and entices candidates to promote their interests to their constituents).

Any competent 2nd amendment rights group will speak out any time politicians try to infringe on the 2nd amendment.

We can make military grade weaponry (weapons only made to kill humans) illegal and that would have zero affect on the second amendment.

Many of the same people who make the absurd claims you are making once claimed that 2nd amendment is a group right and therefor doesn't grant the individual the right to keep and bear arms,only those in a well regulated militia has that right. Now many of those same people are trying to claim that the 2nd amendment doesn't grant you the right to own " military grade" firearms even militias would use "military grade" firearms.

Why do you think our founders made the 2nd amendment?

Driving is a state granted privilege. Obtaining a fire arm is not. So the comparison is invalid.

I wish people would actually research some history and find out what and why the 2d amendment means and stands for. Ownership of arms ( including firearms) is a right not to be infringed. If you understood the reasoning behind the 2d, you would know that military grade firearms are exactly what it was designed to protect. That is up to and including the right of citizens to own and use freaking cannons and howitzers, so the pissing and moaning of anti-american limiters of the 2d are so far off base they actually make sense only if you understand they are attempting to invoke conditions amenable to a totalitarian state within the United States.

Completely lost in the tall grass.

Not quite true. All types of weapons are protected. Military grade, single shot, hunting, target, even those designed to hang on the wall.

The reasoning was and still is simple. The fledgling country had just taken on their governors, the British, who possessed the finest and best equipped army on earth. The fledglings won. And they won starting with weapons borrowed from an armed peoples. While nobody loaned them a mini gun, they had the finest weapons available at the time. Lesson learned.
